After my post I knuckled down and worked systematically through the model= options for ALC883/888 and ALC882/885, having gleaned from the internet that these are most similar to the 889A. The possible choices are listed in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt. Several choices produced sound, but only this (for ALC882/885): options snd-hda-intel model=mbp3 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf, followed by running update-modules, produces sound and turns off the speakers when the headphones are plugged in. This was one of the options I tried before posting, having found it using google, but it did not work. I _think_ I made the mistake of rerunning alsaconf after editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf, which of course erased my edit! Dumb. Best wishes, Roger
